Well consider that added to my lexicon! I have a few people that come to mind hahaha

Hey neighbor, Minnesotan here but new to the term FIB, mind sharing?

Good luck on the thesis and I hope my data points can assist your research! I'm sure the community would love to see your finished thesis when it is done

That's a bit of a gross oversimplification. Overseas or foreign product? Sure tariffs apply 100%.

But what if the modified corn gloop is processed with a machine from Germany? And quality inspected with a sampling device from Canada? And the cameras used to inspect the packaging come from Japan? And the computers to power the logistics operations come from Taiwan, Korea and China?

Sure the corn gloop isnt taxed via tariff, but every single part of its manufacturing just got 20-120% more expensive (and supply chains got that much less predictable). Most businesses would go under if they tried to eat that cost.

The answer? Sweeping tariffs mean sweeping price increases. The list of which prices won't go up will be infinitely smaller.

Realistically you don't get to react at that speed. Best you can do is slow down and hope.. Anything more than small adjustment of the steering wheel and you're no longer on the road. If I crashed at even half that speed I would probably wish I was dead because it's going to be a very long time if ever I function correctly again.

Just a reminder for everybody, employment status term "probationary" within the government is not the same as general populations understanding. It means effectively new hire, generally under 12 months, not "they messed up and are on PIP or underperforming"

I have a local fiber group (just my city, maybe a few neighboring ones) and it's killer. 500 symmetric for 50 a month, no caps, instant support to somebody local (minus the odd 3 am calls those might get bounced to a pretty high quality over seas group, but that's not a big window), no contract and knowledgeable staff. Meanwhile my last cable Internet was Comcast and I think I'd rather swallow glass then willingly give them business

If you're within probably 1.5 hours of the Minneapolis/st. Paul you're probably among sane folk, maybe within 30 of Duluth as well, but if you're out in the boonies and such you might be finding people who, while polite, might be flying a trump flag and think "city/colored folk" are the problem.

So he put himself in the position of "I'm not smart" or "I talked to Putin"? Imagine putting yourself in checkmate like that

"is usually written by an over worked engineer"

I'm in this post and I don't like it.

But really these scada systems are rarely well defined by the time implementation happens. Often the architect has a great plan, but by the time it's passed to a manager, a non-software engineer, to the product engineer to the automation team to the contractor the end result is "X data is pushed in With Y form and we use either a,b,or c date time stamp any nobody knows"

Minnesotan here, been very pleased with the direction of policy and commitment to constituents he's had. Bummed he won't be the gov when he's VP but that's just me being a little selfish.

Like I said it falls apart on its edges but for most people it's probably a better understanding of it than they will ever have or need, but most people scrolling thru Lemmy probably don't need to be understanding electrical concepts like electrons not actually flowing, charge, etc. I'm a controls engineer and while I am aware of the concepts and such, I am not designing electronics so at the end of the day I barely have a use for half of the concepts myself. Sure I could get down to the half semester class of quantum where things get weird, but that won't easily tell people to not to try to plug their fridge into a car battery
